GRR: National Championship
Fallbrook won its 5th consecutive Girls High School National Invitational Championship, defeating Kent 41-0 in today’s final. Kent had its opportunities for points, but the Warriors’ defense and ability to steal possession kept the shutout in place.
It was an exciting first day at the Girls High School National Invitational Championship, and for the fifth time in the previous six years, it’s two West Coast teams that are still undefeated in DI. Southern California’s Fallbrook will look for title number five against Washington’s Kent in tomorrow’s championship match (10:30 a.m. ET).
The Girls High School National Invitational Championship is fewer than two days away, so here's what you can expect on day one in Division I:
One of two things was going to happen today. Either Central Washington was going to cap off its momentous season by upsetting the reigning DI champion, or Penn State was going to win its fourth consecutive (10th total) trophy. The Nittany Lions reiterated why it’s the winningest program in the women’s college game, and posted a 61-7 victory today at Kennesaw State, Ga.
Notre Dame College ran away with the Women’s DII College National Championship, defeating UC Riverside 69-10 at Kennesaw State, Ga. It is the Falcons’ first USA Rugby 15s title, and it comes as the varsity team prepares for the leap to DI next season.
